CHRISTINE, THE MODEL; or Studies of Love.
BY Emile Zola. I. b. Peterson X Brothers,
Philadelphia, Publishers. Morocco cioth,
81 70; paper cover, 40 cents.
This is the latest production Of that
wOrld-famous realistic novelists pen, and
most wonderful and absorbing romance
1t is. 1t is spicy, brilliant, original and
startling. AS the setting for this ambi-
Iious and daring work, lola has taken the
Bohemian branch Of the artistic world In
PARIS, and the novel progresses amid
thorough dissection of artist life and
complete expose of the dOlngs and me-
ihods of q host OF aspiring painters, all OF
whom are more or less cranks. lola
fairly revels amid these piquant reveia-
tons. and they give Zest to his book i'm
possible to describe, and certainly unsur-
passed.

ency lay in complications which grew out
OF an ll-tlmed engal emeut, a state OF
things very easy of expectation by
the world at large. Following on
a youth Of hard physical privations
and fatigue was not the condition
OF his mind one that cnmes inevitably to
every ore whose physical resources are
exhausted? We can do no more than al
lude to this question, but it is one whose
applications are far reaching. Henry
